Re: KOREAN INSURER RETIRES 7,000 MIPS MAINFRAMES (UNCLASSIFIED)
The original article said they were IBM zSeries mainframes. Also, the software that tmsxsoft supplied to achieve this is called Openframe and TJES which emulate mainframe CICS and JCL. Seems pretty clear to me that another IBM mainframe site has bitten the dust. Jim McAlpine On 9/8/06, John S. Giltner, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: They used something called Tmaxsoft Openframe.
